Good morning y'all. Is today the day? I sure hope so otherwise I think some of you are gonna be sick. lol This morning I have go go to doctor and get my legs scanned. Just an annual checkup on my artery bypasses. Hope I don't miss the hatching.
Nice New Thread - Thanks Vicky! You are on the Ball... And so is Steve ! Thanks, Steve, it's going to be lot of posting today - nice to have a clean blackboard ☺
Great picture up there too with the announcement..
Thanks Wanda Thats why they didn't give her anything yesterday in case is just a mean virus. She is miserable right now though. These are times when it is .so hard . to not live closer to her.
Suzanne is at work and getting all the progress reports and pics from the week-end...☺ She did not mention NCTC to me in her email a few minutes ago...
Ok I hope Paula that is why I am not getting Conn. up. Use to get it last year then something happened. Couldn't get it anymore and I really like the Kidd and Lola site at Conn.
Any ideas what I need to do? I did go into control panel and looked they are either prompt or enable...a few are disable but when I tried to change them. It show red like I shouldn't be changing those.
Suz said she got a lot of pics with her new cmera and just LOVES it! It is just like my new one...can do a lot of neat things with it, just have to learn how to operate it!

Sorry I didn't explain to you, NORMA, that I was emailing SUZ..I got a customer, this early in the day, who wanted a moustache. I'll probably have a hundred customers today and will miss the birth of my first grandchick!
SORRY!!---I didn't mean to confuse you all----When I say I didn't see SUZ---I meant I didn't see her on the message page!!!----usually everyday we chat---
OK so now I have a prayeer request for my daughter Becky They have admitted her to a private room for tests etc...I am sure they are ruling out meningitis and have sent Eric and Elia home. I know she is very sad without her family and also very sick.
WHOA HELEN!!----That is what one would call---A "HERD OF TURKEYS"!---ho!----SPRING TURKEY SEASON starts within the mo in MD & WV!---Don't know about PA!
Thank you Norma Yep part of me wants to jump in the plane or in the car with Dex and head there to take care of my kid ya know and her family too of course. Guess I need to wait for some more info today and see what they need me to do.
Wondered if CANDY had been on the blog this am!!!----HER NC TARHEELS BEAT DUKE!!---Bet her feet haven't hit the ground yet!!---WHOA!---Those 2 teams play---BASKETBALL with a capital B!----AWESOME game!!
BUTTERFLY MAMA sent me a few photos of her pond that shows Spring is her. Posted on my Just for Fun. A week ago, she could see the fish swimming under the ice, now it is gone and they are ready to be fed. Love that pond!
Morning fowl friends. Been lurking since I got up...getting ready--slowly but surely-for a lunch engagement. Glo, prayers for Becky...so glad they admitted her and hope for a quick diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Deb, weather forecast not sounding too good for your area...blizzard coming, huh?? don't know how you stand it. Yes, Norma, very windy here, too. Thought I heard Margy a few minutes ago...and sure 'nuff,just saw that she did get called in. Fire calls already starting...it's been terrible here. Apparently many arsons.
Was very disappoiinted in the Wolong piece last night...mostly just sensationalism with very little info on the true impact and importance of the situation there. Boo.
When do we start worrying about the viability of egg #1? Dana, maybe you need to re-download Active-X.....do a search and see if you get a site that says free download and do it and see if that fixes problem!
GLO---Do you have this time change?---Thought I heard IL didn't go on fast time?----THAT'S MY EXCUSE FOR ACTING LIKE AN IDIOT!!----I'm still on slow time--desperately attempt to catch up!! ho!
Thanks Sharon Glad to hear we have MeMa Jo trained to check in first thing in the day now.:). This hi and bye stuff at midnight is a little harder on us worry warts as it is. :).
It sure would be nice to be able to see any movement in any of those eggs when eagle is up off of them. :( argh. Freuqent rolling or tending to the eggs does seem to suggest parent is busy hearing and maybe helping with a hatch but who knows at this point.
Due to power cuts at the reserve - the Buenaventura webcam has been offline for a couple of days. Rest assured we are working to fix this and with any luck it will be up later today.
When will the eggs be laid? By all the grass brought to the nest, you feel it could be any day now. However, the history of the Hornby Eagles suggest it will not be for another two weeks.
Year - 1st egg - 2nd egg 2005 - Mar 30 - Apr 3 2006 - Mar 21 - Mar 25 2007 - Mar 24 - Mar 28 2008 _ _
Another nest on Hornby Island, which I could look into from a cliff
2004 - Mar 26 _
WHAT TO LOOK FOR JUST BEFORE EGG-LAYING Female sitting down on nest more and more Female reluctant to leave the nest area Male may bring fish (herring) for her to eat
IMMINENT EGG-LAYING Female's feathers stick out like a porcupine Her body starts contractions, every two or three seconds She opens her beak a quarter inch and emits grunts with each contraction This may last for 3 or 4 minutes
I hope that some of you spot the egg-laying process and capture it on camera.
09 March 2009 On Saturday, 7 March, our female laid her first egg around 11:25 a.m. One viewer noted seeing two eggs, but only one egg appears to have been laid.
With the arrival of the egg, our osprey parents will contribute to the incubation duties, although the female will carry out the majority of the incubating. The male continues to deliver fish to his mate, which will persist until the young fledge or the nest fails. Incubation for ospreys is approximately 40 days, so we could have hatchlings by Easter, but technically hatching could come anywhere from 35-43 days, depending on the egg’s development. A female osprey will generally lay 2 to 4 eggs over the course of a few days so more eggs may on their way.
We’ll update the Osprey Gallery again within the week.
Shoot, while I went for coffe, see she has changed position. Thx Paula for roll description. Since we saw hole yesterday afternoon, and usually takes 24 hrs. to hatch, probably won't be til sometime in PM. Re:Hornby egg laying---think Jim gave us link for video while back on CA eagle laying egg & she lifted her tail when egg was emerging.

DC Woman Stabbed To Death in New York
LONG ISLAND, NY - A Washington D.C. woman was stabbed to death while on a trip to New York Sunday morning.
Sixty-one year old Nancy McKinley was staying at a friend's house in the Bellport neighborhood of Long Island when an intruder entered the home and stabbed her several times.
McKinley was taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center where she later died.
Suffolk County Police have arrested twenty-two year old Robert Schiavo and have charged him with the murder.
I need to go eat a bite of breakfast. Down one pound on this trip. Usually I gain on a trip. Good eating! Poor Jack is being so supportive. He will end up loosing weight as well.
yes, Paula and Glo, very tragic, she was a beautiful woman, both on the outside and inside. don't know why people think it is their right to take someone's life during a robbery.

Lib is up
She was just up but I wasn't paying attention!! Saw 2 eggs for sure.
And he was back down quickly, only saw 2 eggs.
The wind that Megan mentioned Is Here :(
Yeah, he is blocking the view, too. Saw two eggs, couldn't see the third...
Good Morning Eagleland
Eggs are showing -- one egg does look unusal. Indented like.

Good Morning everyone....Glo hope your daughter feels better soon.
Yes, that's Lib, there was a switch at 7:16
He's back up again
There are wind warnings for the Eastern show today.
Good one Glo!!
She is up again!! Still three I think but I can't be sure! Feed is so choppy!
Could only see him digging in the bowl, can't see the eggs.
Well that was a teasing glimpse!
Flippin cam makes it hard to watch...such a choppy feed.
And now the back is to us...wher eis the rotate . when we need it.
He, sorry, didn't realize it was Lib!

Guess we are all going to be a little Hi today ☺
I hoe I got the rest of the Hi's in on the other thread
TTFN xo
I saved that last peek at the eggs and blew it up several levels and it is still "anybody's Guess". Could not see the third egg.
Dana - I read on the Maine backup forum that the feed will probably not be on today....they are closed today :(
Maybe tomorrow, but you still may want to check it later today.
Eagle still at BWO
I wonder if Suz got to NCTC Saturday. She wanted to try out her new camera. Guess I'll email her.
Suzanne is at work and getting all the progress reports and pics from the week-end...☺
She did not mention NCTC to me in her email a few minutes ago...
Yes, she did get to NCTC, was there about 2 and a half hours, practicing with the camera
Ok I hope Paula that is why I am not getting Conn. up. Use to get it last year then something happened. Couldn't get it anymore and I really like the Kidd and Lola site at Conn.
Babies in full view at BWE!
One thing said my The AXIS ActiveX Camera Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer.
Any ideas what I need to do?
I did go into control panel and looked they are either prompt or enable...a few are disable but when I tried to change them. It show red like I shouldn't be changing those.
WOW Finney's nest is beautiful with all the snow in the forest.
Finney's nest also has a great new view.
Suz said she got a lot of pics with her new cmera and just LOVES it! It is just like my new one...can do a lot of neat things with it, just have to learn how to operate it!
Good morning everyone.
I checked my picture I took when the eggs where showing. Again like you all still can't till.

I didn't see SUZANNE on this am----must have missed her!!
Eggs showing!
she was not on Norma.
I only see an eagle laying down.
One of the surest signs of a new hatchling will be when we see a fish being ripped apart and placed in the little eaglet's beak! :) Then our guessing game will be over!
He turned around, and you could see all 3 eggs.
going to be difficult this year with the cam freezing at different times for each of us, but that is life:)
Suz did get pics of both our eagles and will let us see, too, when she gets the time, Paula.
Well, cancel that day off for me...two sudden illnesses, which leaves a short staff...
Be back, probably much much later.
Hedgie...you have mail
TTFN xox Good Day Wishes to all.
OH, sorry Margy... Well, if Margy is going to work, I better get going, too. Sun is shining on the GH- but I'll be back to check on eggs...

BUTTERFLY MAMA sent me a few photos of her pond that shows Spring is her. Posted on my Just for Fun. A week ago, she could see the fish swimming under the ice, now it is gone and they are ready to be fed. Love that pond!
Morning, again.
Feeding at BWE - is that fresh fish in the nest?
Will keep Becky in my thoughts, Glo.
Morning fowl friends. Been lurking since I got up...getting ready--slowly but surely-for a lunch engagement.
Glo, prayers for Becky...so glad they admitted her and hope for a quick diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Deb, weather forecast not sounding too good for your area...blizzard coming, huh?? don't know how you stand it.
Yes, Norma, very windy here, too.
Thought I heard Margy a few minutes ago...and sure 'nuff,just saw that she did get called in.
Fire calls already starting...it's been terrible here. Apparently many arsons.
Thanks HELEN!---I have seen DUKE play several times!!---Watching these two playing each other was "AWESOME"!!

When do we start worrying about the viability of egg #1?

I just got caught up on blog and e-mail. It sounds like no clear sightings yet.
Prayers for Becky, Glo!

Thanks for the Jo update, Sharon.
Lynn, the blizzard warning is north of me, luckily, by about 100 miles. This time of year is bad for snow storms, it is calving time. :(
Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. Guess its wait now for more info ater the tests are done.
Jo is not on the computer yet, wanted to know if we had any hatchlings yet.
Well, getting ready to get out of here. Keep eagle eyes out, gang! BBL this afternoon.
So did you tell her we are all a little cracked and have been seeing spots for days.
egg rolling
It sure would be nice to be able to see any movement in any of those eggs when eagle is up off of them. :( argh. Freuqent rolling or tending to the eggs does seem to suggest parent is busy hearing and maybe helping with a hatch but who knows at this point.
Good morning all! Got on earlier, saw that there was no eaglet yet, then left with Jack to take the van in to have the AC worked on.
Now I am back...and still no chick? We have a little s-l-o-w birdie here!
MORNIN' T-BIRD & DEB!!---Been on phone----What your temp DEB?

HORNBY ISLAND EAGLE NEST UPDATE - March 5, 2009
When will the eggs be laid? By all the grass brought to the nest, you feel it could be any day now. However, the history of the Hornby Eagles suggest it will not be for another two weeks.
Year - 1st egg - 2nd egg
2005 - Mar 30 - Apr 3
2006 - Mar 21 - Mar 25
2007 - Mar 24 - Mar 28
2008 _ _
Another nest on Hornby Island, which I could look into from a cliff
2004 - Mar 26 _
WHAT TO LOOK FOR JUST BEFORE EGG-LAYING
Female sitting down on nest more and more
Female reluctant to leave the nest area
Male may bring fish (herring) for her to eat
IMMINENT EGG-LAYING
Female's feathers stick out like a porcupine
Her body starts contractions, every two or three seconds
She opens her beak a quarter inch and emits grunts with each contraction
This may last for 3 or 4 minutes
I hope that some of you spot the egg-laying process and capture it on camera.
Both Red-tails in Tulsa, one laying in nest.
I am too slow this morning. One red-tail is gone already,
EAGLE UP
Egg roll
Deb, can you give me a blue thingy for the Tulsa hawks? Would appreciate it. I've been on HI watching the eagle there. Love the sound!
Only got one pic from the still...not very clear shot
UPDATE FROM HH.....
09 March 2009
On Saturday, 7 March, our female laid her first egg around 11:25 a.m. One viewer noted seeing two eggs, but only one egg appears to have been laid.
With the arrival of the egg, our osprey parents will contribute to the incubation duties, although the female will carry out the majority of the incubating. The male continues to deliver fish to his mate, which will persist until the young fledge or the nest fails. Incubation for ospreys is approximately 40 days, so we could have hatchlings by Easter, but technically hatching could come anywhere from 35-43 days, depending on the egg’s development. A female osprey will generally lay 2 to 4 eggs over the course of a few days so more eggs may on their way.
We’ll update the Osprey Gallery again within the week.
Kay and Jay, the Tulsa Red-tails
AWWW they named the male after my jubby:)
We probably have the same picture, Paula. There might be a hole showing in one egg, but it could be a shadow.
It is really snowing in Portland and the egg is not being incubated. The hawk is on the railing.
Check out the NM owl, very pretty today. New Mexico GHOW
Thank you! :)
Shoot, while I went for coffe, see she has changed position.
Thx Paula for roll description.
Since we saw hole yesterday afternoon, and usually takes 24 hrs. to hatch, probably won't be til sometime in PM.
Re:Hornby egg laying---think Jim gave us link for video while back on CA eagle laying egg & she lifted her tail when egg was emerging.
Glo, thoughts & prayers for your daughter.
This woman was the Mom of one of our son's high school friends', prayers for the family and Harley her son.....
DC Woman Stabbed To
Death in New York
LONG ISLAND, NY - A Washington D.C. woman was stabbed to death while on a trip to New York Sunday morning.
Sixty-one year old Nancy McKinley was staying at a friend's house in the Bellport neighborhood of Long Island when an intruder entered the home and stabbed her several times.
McKinley was taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center where she later died.
Suffolk County Police have arrested twenty-two year old Robert Schiavo and have charged him with the murder.
The investigation is still continuing.
HI eagle has wiggled down into the nest.
That is such a shame, Mits.
I need to go eat a bite of breakfast. Down one pound on this trip. Usually I gain on a trip. Good eating! Poor Jack is being so supportive. He will end up loosing weight as well.
There is an egg in Tulsa!
Both Hawks in Tulsa.

I am so sorry to hear the sad and tragic news, Helen. Prayers for the family and friends.

mITS, I think it must be something in the water ... or on the air.
When we were young, there might be a crazy attack or murder once a year in the whole country. Now there are several every day far more locally.
